Broken requirements URL in README.md
edgarogh opened this issue · comments
The requirements URL is broken and leads to a GitHub 404.
I'm having troubles apt-installing the system dependencies and having access to this file would be useful.
Having Rust and then via apt
libgtk-3-dev
and pkg-config
should be sufficient.
The build fails with Requested 'gdk-3.0 >= 3.24' but version of GDK is 3.22.30
unfortunately. I don't want to break my system by compiling the C libraries manually.
(this is a bit off-topic for this issue anyways)
You're trying to compile a crate then that requires the v3_24
feature of gtk
or gdk
, but your system's version is too old. Either try to get it to not require such a new version of gtk, or you'll have to update it.

Indeed, just trying to help you here :) I'm not sure where the requirements page disappeared to (@GuillaumeGomez ?) but it also wouldn't have helped you with this specific problem.
The requirements page was removed a while ago (you can see the follow-up PR here when we fixed the URL). Now we just link to the GTK installation page.
Oh thank you @sdroege for mentioning the feature, I was actually trying to compile an example and didn't realize that the gdk >= 3.24
version requirement was controlled by a feature. I thought that it was an absolute requirement. Regarding "(this is a bit off-topic for this issue anyways)", I simply didn't wan't to annoy anyone else with unrelated discussion, but I'm really thankful for the help.
@edgarogh Do you have a suggestion where to add this in the documentation? Where would you have looked to find this? :)
